Chapter 733: Xiao Ming Came to See Her!
"Bai Xiqin, you better hand over the items, or face the consequences."
Fang Yuanyuan was still coveting those two Fourth Rank Crystal Cores, gazing at Bai Xiqin’s back with eyes almost on fire.
If it weren’t for Hong Yu blocking her to check her temperature, she would have rushed over to grab Bai Xiqin.
Hong Yu looked at the furious woman in front of him, frowning tightly.
This person is not friendly towards Sister!
"Are you done yet?"
Fang Yuanyuan looked coldly at Hong Yu blocking her path.
The temperature gun in Hong Yu’s hand had been at her forehead for a while now and still hadn’t been removed.
Under normal circumstances, it could have been tested several times by now.
Yet there wasn’t a prompt sound of a "beep."
"Not yet, just wait a bit longer, the thermometer seems to have some issues."
Hong Yu’s finger was on the button but didn’t press it, his face flushed with embarrassment.
His eyes were evasive, looking insecure and nervous, but he still didn’t step aside.
"You better move aside quickly, or else..."
The energy belonging to a Third Rank Superpower User rose from Fang Yuanyuan.
Affecting Hong Yu directly.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai paused and were about to turn back to help Hong Yu when they felt another powerful surge of energy.
This surge came from the shy Hong Yu.
The energy fluctuation from Hong Yu was more domineering and fierce than that of Fang Yuanyuan.
The difference was more than just a large Rank.
It directly shattered the energy wave from Fang Yuanyuan.
Fang Yuanyuan felt a strong sense of crisis flooding her mind.
"You..."
Fang Yuanyuan’s face turned pale.
This explosive close-range impact of energy made her settle down immediately.
Who would have thought that apart from the Base Commander and his son, there would be another superpower user so powerful in Shanghai?
And he seemed like an incredibly shy young man!
The key point is, he is still a gatekeeper!
Has the requirement for gatekeepers become so high?
"Sister, you should hurry home for dinner. It’s too cold, staying outside can freeze you,"
Hong Yu scratched his head shyly, waving at Bai Xiqin.
He had never used his superpower to bully the weak, nor had he ever been so flamboyant.
But, he couldn’t just watch as Sister was bullied.
"Okay."
Bai Xiqin showed no surprise.
The gatekeeper was Hong Yu, who seemed like a shy boy but was actually the notorious Man Slaughter in the apocalypse.
His presence was a nightmare for many human survivors.
So far, Hong Yu had always maintained an innocent and harmless appearance, and Bai Xiqin still didn’t know why he would become the Man Slaughter in the near future.
Bai Xiqin took a deep look at Hong Yu, then left with Leng Yebai.
Hong Yu stood there without moving aside, and Fang Yuanyuan dared not enter the safe base.
No matter how angry she was, she dared not force her way in.
The sense of danger just now was terrifying enough, and she had no doubt that if she forcibly entered, she would be killed.
"The thermometer is broken, you can come back in the afternoon!"
Hong Yu’s face was still a bit red, deliberately putting on a stern face to speak with Fang Yuanyuan, but he stuttered a bit as he wasn’t used to lying.
However, his gaze remained firm.
Xiao Fan and his sister were both good friends of his, and even though he didn’t get along well with that cold-faced man, this was the first time Hong Yu chose to deny a human survivor entry into the safe base.
"Do you know who I am?"
Fang Yuanyuan suppressed the anger boiling inside her and didn’t lose her temper, but she was almost at her limit.
That was close enough; her patience was limited.
Hong Yu looked down shyly but still didn’t move aside, his energy fluctuation never weakened.
"Fang Yuanyuan."
A cold voice came from behind.
Fang Yuanyuan’s back stiffened, she slowly turned around, looking in the direction behind her.
The road that was just empty now had a figure on it.
He stood in the snow-covered ground, looking like a deity who had fallen to the mortal world.
Holy and inviolable.
Beside him, some remnants of black blood were faintly visible in the white snow.
The juxtaposition of this beautiful yet stark scene made his silhouette appear melancholic in a way words can’t describe.
Fang Yuanyuan’s dazed expression turned into ecstasy.
Xiao Ming actually came looking for her!
It seems her efforts today were not in vain; Xiao Ming really heard her message.
Fang Yuanyuan no longer cared about Hong Yu behind her and charged towards Zhang Yiming.
Watching Fang Yuanyuan leave, Hong Yu let out a slight sigh of relief.
It’s better if she leaves on her own.
If she insisted on barging in to trouble Sister Xiao Niu, he would have no choice but to... kill her.
Zhang Yiming saw Fang Yuanyuan running towards him, expression indifferent, then turned to leave.
Fang Yuanyuan followed Zhang Yiming closely, fearing she would lose sight of him.
When she looked at Zhang Yiming, her eyes were full of sadness and heartache.
Such a warm and sunny person, how did he turn into a zombie?
However, even if Xiao Ming turned into a zombie, he was still the pinnacle among zombies.
He always stood at the highest point for her to look up to.
Fang Yuanyuan clenched her fist slightly; she really wished for a chance to stand alongside him.
"Xiao Ming, wait for me."
Fang Yuanyuan ran for a long time, Zhang Yiming’s back was so close yet always just a step or two away.
Zhang Yiming seemed not to hear her words, continuing to walk forward until he entered an abandoned and unfinished building devoid of humans and zombies before he stopped.
"Xiao Ming, I have something important to tell you."
Fang Yuanyuan tidied up her messy bangs, staring directly at the face she had been longing for.
Long time no see, the gentle boy who existed in her dreams and mind.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Zhang Yiming leaned casually against the unpainted wall.
The whole unfinished building was filled with the smell of cement, and worker’s litter was everywhere.
Because of Zhang Yiming’s presence, Fang Yuanyuan found this place perfect; even the discarded bricks seemed more beautiful.
The boy before her exuded a melancholy aura, causing Fang Yuanyuan’s heart to throb uncontrollably with pain.
"Xiao Ming, have you really turned into..."
Fang Yuanyuan regretted asking as soon as she said it.
Of course, he had.
Otherwise, how would Xiao Ming know she was looking for him?
Zhang Yiming looked down at his fingers, not speaking.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ask that, no offense intended," Fang Yuanyuan quickly explained. "I came because I wanted to tell you something very important, about the Human Survivor Alliance. They’re planning to use massive destructive weapons; you have to be careful, it’s best if you leave Shanghai."
"If possible, show your face in Shanghai and then leave quickly so they think you’re here..."
Fang Yuanyuan blurted out her father’s plan without any psychological burden.
Fang Yuanyuan’s meaning was clear, let Shanghai become ruins, and Zhang Yiming fake his death to escape.
"You came to tell me this? Aren’t you afraid of becoming a traitor to humans?"
Zhang Yiming’s mouth curved slightly, looking at Fang Yuanyuan with a faint smile.
"Yes, even though I’m the daughter of the Alliance Captain, actually..." Fang Yuanyuan took a deep breath and summoned the courage to say, "I really like Xiao Ming; I want to be with Xiao Ming forever, even if it means being rejected by humans!"
In front of Xiao Ming, the various statuses of the human world no longer mattered to her; she just wanted to be with Xiao Ming forever.
If possible, she wanted to become the "bridge" between humans and zombies, the one everyone watched.
